Benefits of technology

[0010] It is a further aim of the present invention to propose an order method that is easier and more reliable than the usual methods.
[0011] It is a further aim of the present invention to propose a method allowing the aforementioned problems to be solved and making easier the entering of long order codes and of other order data with terminals, in particular with portable terminals.
[0018] For a more reliable identification of the user, biometric parameters of the user can be obtained through a biometric sensor and compared with the parameters in a server. In this manner, the authorized user can be authenticated with each order with a high degree of reliability.

Problems solved by technology

With this method, the users can hardly define orders any more precisely.
In particular, this application describes no practical procedure for determining the quantity of the ordered products, the delivery and billing address and the billing method.
Furthermore, the typing of the order codes, which may contain many characters, with an often miniaturized and incomplete keyboard is laborious and susceptible to errors.

Embodiment Construction

[0021] The following description refers in particular to the specific case of an order with an Internet terminal. The one skilled in the art will however be able to adapt the invention to other kinds of telecommunication networks, in particular to telecommunication networks in which a chip card and / or biometric parameters of users are used to identify the users in a server in the telecommunication network. In particular, the invention is also suitable for entering orders in a mobile radio network defined according to the GSM, UMTS or GPRS standard, preferably working digitally and constructed cellularly.

[0022] FIG. 1 shows a telecommunication system with a plurality of providers 1 that can send over a suitable communication channel 2 offers to a plurality of users equipped with terminals 3.

[0023] In the example represented, the terminal 3 consists of a computer, for example a laptop or palmtop with communication means etc. The method could however also be used with a portable mobile...

Abstract

Order method comprising following steps: reproduction of the offer of a provider with electronic reproduction means of a personal terminal, selection of the offer through the user, execution in said personal terminal of an order program linked to the selected offer, with which order data can be entered, the order program using the order parameters transmitted with the offer, linking of said order data with user identification data stored in a personal identification module, transmission of an order message with said linked data to the provider.

Description

[0001] This application is a continuation of international application PCT / CH99 / 00418 filed on Sep. 7, 1999.[0002] The present invention concerns a method for sending order data with a terminal to a provider, as well as a corresponding identification module and system. The present invention also concerns a method with which providers can submit their offers to users and potential customers equipped with a terminal.RELATED ART[0003] Patent EP689368 describes a method for packing and sending data in SMS (Short Message Services) messages through a mobile radio network. With this method, it is possible for example to transmit between various mobile radio devices not only short text messages such as for example "Please call home", but also more complex messages and programs that are automatically recognized by the receiving terminal and can trigger a certain action.[0004] The WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) architecture describes another protocol with which the users of WAP-capable m...
